Fair Day

---

I took this weekend off work, just so we could go to the Michaelmas Fair at Bishops Castle, about 20 miles from home. The street entertainment is great, there are lots of stalls and lots of vintage vehicles. it was rather blowy and a little on the autumnal side, but we enjoyed our day out.

Can you teach me how to swim?
but don't mention water. Actually, I'd like a doughnut - will you buy me one? Street theatre by the local kids.

morris dancers - loud and quite violent!

from Zimbabwe, all singing and dancing.

Nice Day Out
Looks like it was a good day out, lots to see and do!! The Morris Dancers look a bit dark!! Do you remember the street entertainers at the Art Beat Festival here in the park?

love this!
The juxtaposition of the Zimbabwean musicians and the vintage tractors is just delicious.
